2.94 is a great gear too, a little more responsive than the 2.76.

Sound German has a gear indicator display so you can see what gear you are in. Possibly, Dakota Digital dash may have that too? Not sure... Dion..yes I think the 2.76 puts me right where I want to be, with your info backing it up. The V6 weighs in at 3886 lb, so I am still about 500 lbs...

My car has a 2.76 gear in it now, 8 3/4. You would have to find used for that gear. I need a sure grip still. From what I understand the C bodies had 2.76 sure grips. Also thinking since my car is probably 900 lbs or so lighter than a new challenger, the 2.76 might be just right. I could...

Reviving this old thread.... work has finally begun getting the 8 speed in. I changed direction on the flywheel from the QuickTime -947 to a kit from JVX Racing in Tenn. He has a full installation kit to make the easy (he also sells the kit and adapter for a big block). Tunnel was cut and...

Hi Johnny, I never tried moving it in or out. It is at the shop with the car so I cannot try it. Maybe the next time I go down I will see how much movement there is. It isn't just for harmonics as the ram truck has a full floating rear axle like our cars and they have quite a bit of travel in...

I've also been playing around with the shifter. The easiest would be to just mount the new shifter in place of the old slap stick. The sizes are close (I mounted a old style pistol grip to the stalk, not done yet). The stalk needs a sleeve to get it to the proper diameter but I think it will...

I don't recall what it came out of as I bought it from Craigslist. I do have part numbers off of it... P52123616AA its at the shop with the car but the part with the slip joint, the length is close for a barracuda, challenger would be a little longer of course. I think it will need to be cut...

Hello Mgo, I am in Fayetteville. I plan on using the 2 piece driveshaft from a ram but I think it was from a rear wheel drive. The second part of the shaft has the slip joint. The front section has the output mount for the trans so the plan is to remove that and put on where it joined the mid...

Just found out that this is also the same diameter (and 130 tooth count) as a flywheel so for those that are looking to run an engine on a run stand, you can use this plate. It is also a lot lighter.

I have a brand new Quicktime RM-947 flex plate that fits mopar 6 bolt crank, for use with a GM transmission. I've never used nor mounted it. I've had it longer than the return window (about a year) so I cannot do a return. I was going to use for my 8 speed swap to my LA but there is now flex...

They made it out of ABS, to make is as strong as possible. They plan to make a full set but for now just 1 was made. They used an inner tube as also "stress tested" until it popped. It is an interesting series of videos. The printed wheel starts with this video, but it is slow to watch. He...

This is cool stuff, Kevin. I've wanted to get a printer and scanner to 3D print stuff as well, but I don't think it will be any time soon. I watched a youtube video of printing a car wheel. I thought printing out "450" style rims but a little bigger would be great, as long as it looked pretty...

Disregard, thinks carb is fixed. I have a friend near Orlando (more east) looking for a mechanic to help tune his GM car. It has a big block, somewhat modified, and a Holley 750 carb. He thinks the carb needs tuning, but could be related to engine to (like timing, etc.). He would like to...

Thinking about the extra slop, might be wiser to just switch to a manual steering column then.

That does the same thing? Is it the only part that is needed to make it work?
